If the reviewer states his/her tastes before starting a review (or has a permanent link to them), reviews based on tastes are excellent. After all, if your tastes are the same as the reviewer, you might come to appreciate the same games as the reviewer.

This reviewer does nothing like that. He takes another path, that is accessing the qualities of the game, independently of his tastes.
